A company like this with key inventions to make natural gas a successful substitute fuel in diesel engines, joint venture with Cummins, the world's best diesel engine manufacturer, and more ventures on the way should be successful. To top it off natural gas is the economic choice to supplement hydrocarbons from crude oil in light of the vast reserves which can be developed in the United States. Electric cars will depend on power from generating plants which exhaust 2/3 of the energy input to the surroundings, or more unreliable sources such as wind. Alternative cars such and electric and ethanol are cute supplements to direct use of clean fuels such as methane, LPG, gasoline, and Diesel, the source of our modern economic success, but will always be uneconomic (according to the first, second and third laws of thermodynamics)..
